Description rhchalmers 2015-08-15 07:20:33 UTC 
The sheet tabs show all the sheets used in the file. But I cannot use the navigation button to hide the old sheets.

Please @rhchalmers, what it's your LibreOffice version?

Can't you right-click the tab and select hide?

What is the issue?
1- Buttons are not visible?
2- Buttons do not work?

Could you try to hide and show again with:
Menu/Tools/Options/LIbreOffice calc/View

those buttons are not meant to show/hide sheet tabs.

These buttons are used to scroll through the tabs in a file that has many sheets and not all visible in the UI.

When all the tabs are visible, no scrolling is required, so clicking on the buttons will have no effect, but this is causing misunderstanding among users

to make these more clear to the user what the function of those button is, the following report has already been filed.

Bug 94171 - Make navigation arrows in Calc visible only when they are needed and place them on the right

so it's clear that this bug report is due to misunderstanding of the navigation tab sheet button.

I set status to NOTABUG
